they can look over the purchases they
have made and can plan whore to
go and what to buy , when they shall
become rested and able to again take

church pastors.
Too Much for Her Chief.
There is a cabinet ofllcer at Wash
ington who for a long time was great
ly annoyed by the incessant requests
for promotion preferred by a young
woman In his department who was u
friend of his family.
One afternoon last winter she en
tered the great man's office with the
usual application. Unfortunately , the
head of the department was in any
thing but a good humor that day. Bo
he flared up Instantly.
"Upon my word , " exclaimed ho ,
"you clerks are the bane of my life !
You " he stopped short , as if restraining -
straining himself. Then ho burst out
again with : "I wish to goodness you
were a man ! "
The young woman Hashed a glance
at him from a particularly fine pair of
eyes , and as a smile came to her hand
some face she replied : "Mr. Secretary ,
you are the first man who over wished
that. "
This was too much for the chief.
She got her promotion. Sunday Mag
